We are flirting with snow, but not getting any (2026), so let's revisit when we had a true snowfall.
Wednesday Walk Redux - March 28, 2012
A Wednesday Storm Revisited
This Wednesday the only signs of last week's snow are broken branches, and a few small piles of dirty snow on the north side of the house.
I did take a walk last week though, and I wanted to share some of the snowy photos. Button up your parka and put on your mittens!
As you can see, we received a heavy, wet snow.
It was like living inside of a snow-globe.
The Douglas Fir trees were flocked with snow.
Here's a photo at our driveway entrance. You can see downed branches along the left side of the road.
In this storm, the Ash trees and under brush took the hardest hits.
The Big Creek flowed in a muddy brown contrast to the pristine white snow.
Somehow it looked more intimate in the snow.
Even a wood pile had a structural interest.
This is Dorothy's Creek, the smaller of our two creeks.
It was flowing fiercely.
Just after taking this photo, I knocked all the snow off the Paperbark Maple. I was afraid the branches would snap under the weight of the snow.
This poor daffodil provided one of the few spots on color on a white / gray day.
I like this Winter / Spring juxtaposition - snow on the budding Acer.
A Currier and Ive's winter etching!
I'm tired and cold and there's nowhere to sit outside...
...and inside the Comfortable Cats have taken all the prime spots before the fire! No power either, so I can't offer Hot Chocolate!
